"The passion South Asian communities in the UK have for cricket remains high - but over 50 years later, there is still so much untapped potential.

"This plan will help to change that - starting today."

Leicestershire chief executive Wasim Khan and cricket pundits Isa Guha and Mark Nicholas were among those taking part in a South Asian Advisory Group.

They identified a lack of effective talent spotting as well as access to equipment as problems to be tackled, following consultations with more than 600 people which has resulted in 11 recommended actions.

They include the creation of at least 20 new urban cricket centres, 1000 non-turf pitches and 100 turf pitches by 2024.
